These manufacturers should rename their products - that would show 'em! Call their products 'Bunny Rabbits' and call magazines and accessories 'Pretty Flower Petals' and 'Rainbows'. And they can certainly think of a new name for 'the shoulder thing that goes up' in case that gets banned too. The manufacturers could even put a disclaimer on their product packaging and website declaring that they do not sell AR-Type anything anymore - just 'Bunny Rabbits'

Crap is not gonna pass. Will not make it thru the House. Maybe after 2014 midterms but not now. Gonna keep driving the gouging and madness though.

But I find it interesting the way they name specific firearms. If the S&W M&P15 is banned can S&W change a small feature (say change the safety selector switch to a different style) rename it the S&W MSR15 and be able to sell it? I mean laws are full of loop holes so can the firearms industry finds ways thru them?

They, with the exception of the 36, are CAPABLE of ACCEPTING a magazine that holds over 10rnds.

Read it. There is no such verbage in the bill.

They ban AK-47 and AR looking handguns, and some others, but this is the only other part that applies to handguns:

All semiautomatic pistols that can accept a detachable magazine and have at least one military feature: threaded barrel; second pistol grip; barrel shroud; capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip; or semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm.

All semiautomatic rifles and handguns that have a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.

Yawn. Not worried. The Republicans in the house are skating on thin ice and they know it. Allowing any of this to pass is political sucide.

And it would be suicide for the Dems too. There will not be enough votes for anything buy a token bill to pass. Meaning they might get universal background checks passed along with stronger mental health guideline enforcement.

They don't have to ban the Glock, or virtually any other semi-auto pistol. It will be banned through the magazine ban. They, with the exception of the 36, are CAPABLE of ACCEPTING a magazine that holds over 10rnds. See what they did there?

If I read that correctly, Glock would also be banned under "semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm" (G18 being the automatic firearm)

I have you written your reps. I did and the response from 1 so-called conservative (Chambliss) was pathetic. He expressed that he would review any bill... (i.e., he will make compromises).

Feinstein's bill is not being proposed as the final solution. It's proposed as a starting point in the negotiation. I fully expect something will come out of all this noise that further restricts our rights.

Conspicuously absent from said ban list- M14 variants and M1 Carbine variants. Interesting, unless I misread it.
Of course the big gotcha is the 10 round magazine thing. That's what they really want. If they would compromise to 52 round limit in a magazine, except for drum magazines, which would be exempt, I would be all for it.
